tunes Of the ladies in Japan are more
In consonance with the dress reform
movement than those Of American and
European girls. First OF all. no corset
Is worn. The long silk sash supplies
the place Of steel and Whalebone. This
sash Is wrapped around and around the
waist loosely and the ends hang down
behind. There is no large, elaborate
bow pinned against the back, like those
seen in the representation Of the
'Mlkado' on our stage. Some Of the
nltra-fashionable girls Of Toxic, how
ever, have adopted method OF making
their waists look smaller. according ito
the European modes, but no corset is
used-simply belt buckled around the
waist, The ladies' are fond Of picking
the strings Of their banjo, and are Zip to
the times in fashion which has been
greatly in vogue among American
girls. Japanese girls attire themselves
in pretty much the same underwear rs
American women, but their stockings
are built moro on the order Of u mitten

interpreter was this: The Japanese
think that all Europeans have very old

Antiquity of tho Hftiff.

The first appearance OF the muff dates
from the end Of the sixteenth century.
In tho inventory Of effects left by the
widow OF Nicolai, we read, "Item: ono
velvet muff lined with sable" At Ven
ice we find Il trace Of tho muff toward
tic end Of the fifteenth century. Cele-
bratcd court ladies and women Of noble
birth carried them, The most cce-
bratcd and charming picture in which q
muff is shown is that exquisite painting
by Sir Joshua Reynolds, entitled "rhc
Young Girl with Il Muif," which forms
a part Of the fine collection Of the Mar
1uis of IIcrtford. Nothing could be
more delicate than this work. The
young English girl seemed to be rather
passing across the canvas than fixed
upon it, so wonderful is the skill with
which the artist has depicted the walk
ing motion-thc body inclined Il little
forward, and the head to one side. This
woman's bust. cut off ut the muif, Is SO
fine and fresh in tone, SO iadiantly orig
inal III design, that it would suffice alone
to establish the immortal rcnown of
Reynolds, for into this work tho artist
has put tho quintcsscncc Of womanli-
ness, the ideal Of The most cXquislt Eli
glsh lovelincss, and has rendered it q
memorable typo Of chilly beauty.

aside the hallowcd customs Of our Land

this house was first appropriated to its
cruel uses. If human beings possess

tiles, arlsc.out.of the accumulated wrath
Of my murdered friends? If our slaugh-

for life, and for the $4,000 of us that
have fallen cholera will kill an equal
number. Therefore be warned Gro it
is too late. Cease from your cruelty
and hcnceforth abstain from animal
food" Deeply affected by tho cows

aside his ax, led the animal back to q
stall, and lie and his comrades now

The Alphabet. In Japan.

There Is society lately formed in
Japan called the '.Roman Alphabet
Association" and already it numbers
many thousand persons. The Chinese
alphabet, composed Of about do. 600
characters, had been discarded, and the
Roman alphabet, with some changes.
substituted. AS adapted by the japan.
ese, the alphabet consists Of TWENTY-FIVE
letters. The consonants are taken at
their Engllsh sounds, while the vowels
are promo unced with their Italian ac-
cent. The laborlous study required to
become proficient III the Japanese lang
uage proves 1t to be too slow a medium
for the acquisition Of knowledge for
this awakened and progressive people.

Tho Deepest Lake.

A communication from Dr.. Bailey
Of the New Brunswick University, re-
latiye to the great depth Of Lake Tenn
iscouata, which empties by the NADIA
waska into the st. John. DR.. Bailey
spent some time about the lake during
the past Summer in connectioniswith
the work Of the Canadian Geological
Survey, and from three soundings made
near It's southern extremity. depths Of
225, 400 and 600 feet were reached and
1t seems probable, adds DR.. Bailey,
from the statements Of reliable parties,
that even this depth is ut some places
considerably exceeded. The surface oe
the lake is, by the measurement Of tns
aneroid barometer, 400 feet above the
tide level in the Bay Of Fnnday, so
that 1t has q depth fully below tide
level. DR.. Balley's communication
Is called forth by a report Of the re-
markable depth Of Crater Lake in
Oregon, which depth, to Judge from the
name, Is 10 more than one might ex-
pect from its volcanic origin, But III
the case OF Lake remisconata Chcre is
nothing OF volcanic character, and
the whole depression Is evidently tho
result OF simple erosion II This should
prove to be the deepest freshWater lake
i'll America. DR.. DIlley's contribution
to geographical science is a most i'm.
